Shortly after his appearance in Ajax Amsterdam Neeskens received from the fans nicknamed Second-Johan - Johan II. The first was, of course, Johan Cruyff. However, the nickname, though, and catch on, is unlikely to reflect the true situation on the field: rather, Johan Cruyff and Johan Neeskens together were the first great interacting and complementing each other.
Neeskens was born in a small town Hemstede near Haarlem. Not surprisingly, the first professional contract he signed with the club "Haarlem." He had not yet turned nineteen, but Johan confidently took his place in the middle of the field. He coped superbly with the defensive role, especially performing drove superbly, but at the same time was very aggressive in the attack.

So coach Ajax and the inventor of this model Rinus Michels almost immediately after the appearance Neeskensa in Haarlem, invited him to Amsterdam. Also in 1970, he made his debut in the national team of Holland.Along with "Ajax" started 1970 Neeskensu was destined to achieve great fame. Three times he became the champion of the Netherlands and three times won the National Cup. During these years, followed by an extraordinary rise of the Amsterdam club in the international arena. Already in the first season of the year Neeskensa 1970-1971 Ajax won the first European Cup by winning the final match against Greek Panathinaikos - 2:0.
In that season "total football" Rinus Michels literally struck Europe. Footballers-generalists Cruyff, Neeskens, Pen, Van Dyke moved across the field, replacing each other on a variety of positions and stunned his opponent′s unexpected actions. In other people′s doors suddenly appeared defenders "Ajax", the attackers acted on the last frontier for self-defense. Football players constantly moved around the field without the ball, why sometimes begin to Ajax combination looked simply breathtaking. Of course, for such a scheme required special performers, and Neeskens, along with Cruyff turned out to be the best.
But victory in the European Cup was only the beginning of the triumph of the Dutch "total football".

In 1973 Johan Cruyff left for Barcelona. A year later it was followed and Johan Neeskens. But it happened after the 1974 World Cup, where the "total football" brilliantly demonstrated the Dutch team. Sparkled, of course, and with Neeskensom Cruyff, who became one of the best strikers, scoring 5 goals. He surpassed only Lato Pole with 7 goals.
One of the most important goal was Neeskensa scored in the match with the Dutch national team against Brazil. In this match to decide who to play in the final. Cruyff and Neeskens scored in each half of the ball. When the score became 2:0, the Brazilians started to take the nerves, they did not hesitate to rudeness.

Nevertheless, Johan Neeskens entered football history as the first player who has performed in the final 11-meter strike. Besides, it has already happened in the first minute: Defender Hoeness knocked in the penalty area Cruyff and Neeskens struck exactly.In "Barcelona" Neeskens again played with Cruyff and Ajax Amsterdam after the departure of leading players was not the same. But "Barcelona" in the second half of 1970, only once managed to win the Cup Winners′ Cup: In 1979, she won the final of the German "Fortuna" from Dusseldorf - 4:3. A year earlier, Cruyff had already left the club after moving to America.
In the Dutch team at the world championships in 1978 Neeskens also had played without Cruyff. But he was still a key player on the field, although this time not scored a single ball. The Dutch, like four years ago, again reached the final, where they met with the owners of the championship - team of Argentina. The main time ended with the score 1:1, and a minute before the end of the Rep could not score the decisive goal: in the confusion at the gate, he sent the Argentine ball in the corner, but hit the bar.
